Minicamp roundup: Tebow on backup plan at minicamp

Jets coach Rex Ryan said quarterback Tim Tebow would be running the second-team offense at Tuesday's minicamp practice with Mark Sanchez handling all first-team reps.

Ryan continued an offseason theme of heaping heavy praise on Sanchez for his diligent film, playbook and conditioning work.

"I think Sanchez has really been impressive," Ryan said. "Obviously, you see it on the field. But I think it's the other things that maybe we don't see which is in the classroom ... I think he's been absolutely tremendous."

Wide receivers Santonio Holmes and Stephen Hill sat out most of Tuesday's minicamp session with hamstring injuries.

Holmes' injury was previously undisclosed but isn't considered serious, Ryan announced. Holmes expected to try to do some work this week. The heated exchange with wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal wasn't a factor in Holmes not practicing and Ryan said the injury would be "monitored."

Hill, the second-round pick with 4.3 speed, felt tightness in his hamstring during last week's organized team activities and was shut down. Ryan said the team will "obviously be cautious" with Hill.

Safety LaRon Landry (Achilles) remained an idle observer, as he has been since signing as a free agent.
